Ted Williams:
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'

Ted Williams:
Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.

Dave Winfield:
Everyone has a breaking point, turning point, stress point, the game is permeated with it. The fans don't see it because we make it look so efficient. But internally, for a guy to be successful, you have to be like a clock spring, wound but not loose at the same time.

Carl Yastrzemski:
I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it.

Honus Wagner:
In all my years of play, I never saw an ump deliberately make an unfair decision. They really called them as they saw 'em.

Duke Snider:
Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you're swinging.

Mike Schmidt:
Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.

Babe Ruth:
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Nolan Ryan:
It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy.

Mike Piazza:
Never let your dreams go away.

Joe Morgan:
A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter.
